word search

• includes over 30000 translations with words sorted by frequency of use
• finds words with similar spelling and pronunciation. for example, in case you hear a word and cant quite make out if it has a short or long vowel, or a "z" or "s", this search will find it anyway. this is only done when entering readings in romaji, but searching words using kanji is also possible
• supports regexp syntax. for example, ^word for only searching at the beginning, word$ for only searching at the end, or . for wildcards
• to keep the search simple and fast, katakana words (8000) are not included. there is also a limit on the length of words returned, relative to the length of what has been entered, so that small word searches dont list all longer words where it is contained
• translations from jmdict, word frequency from gimenes, m., & new, b. (2015) wordlex
